#TradingPairs101 📊 Trading Pairs 101: The Basics You Need to Know

In crypto, trades happen between pairs — two assets you're exchanging. For example:

🔹 BTC/USDT = Trading Bitcoin for Tether (stablecoin)

🔹 ETH/BTC = Trading Ethereum against Bitcoin

🔹 SOL/BNB = Swapping Solana for Binance Coin

There are two main types:

1. Crypto-to-Stable (e.g., ETH/USDT) – Best for measuring gains in dollars and managing risk.

2. Crypto-to-Crypto (e.g., MATIC/ETH) – Used for rotating between tokens without cashing out.

✅ Always check:

Liquidity (is the pair actively traded?)

Spreads & Fees

Base currency strength

Smart trading starts with understanding your pair. Don’t just chase charts—understand the value on both sides.
